Torsion bars
« on: September 05, 2007, 06:37:53 PM »

Just wondering if anyone has used the Firm Feel Torsion Bars?  I was looking at the .920 but for the price I don't know.  I found the .940 for a lot less.  What do you guys think?

flyboy,

That was my thinking. By the way I've been following your progress, man it looks sweet.  If you don't mind, when you get done with the scoop send me some pictures, I was thinking of doing that, now I will most definitly do it! duster

I am also looking at those Firm Feel bars, but open to other recomendations.  Where did you find the best price on the .940's ??

MP has always had good prices on the t/bars. They didn't get nuts on the pricing until you went nuts on the bars. Used to be around 149 - 175 although I'll admit it has been a while.

Price isn't so bad, considering that the MP's .920 are $300.00

You are correct, however, when I called the dealer they told me that it was a mistake, that they could not get them to their store for that price.  They told me that they list them for $350.00 a set.  I complained and told them that it was false advertisement.  They did tell me that they were going to call their vendor (MP) and see what they could do, this after I told them about the web page, and after the went to it to check the price.  I doubt that they will call me back, but I will call them and see what the deal is. Frustrated

Just because they listed them at the wrong price, does not mean they have to sell then to you at that price, if it was an honest mistake, all they have to do is correct it, and on a webiste that is pretty easy. If it was a printed ad, they have to print another price correction. It would only be illegal if it was a bait-and-switch, where they advertised that price and they didn't ever have any, they just want to sell you something different. Of course, proving something like that will be difficult.
